    Truly dreadful: in the sense of being both bad and frightening.

    Apparently, there are some #universities just not worth attending and some #university degree courses not worth taking – because they fail to deliver sufficient economic benefit for both society and individual students-as-consumers, and can therefore be judged as being of ‘poor quality’. In many cases, it seems, doing an apprenticeship is preferable to attending a ‘less selective’ university.

    What, exactly, is radical about this? Especially when one considers that, historically, it has been at such universities that many people from working- and lower-middle-class backgrounds have encountered radical economic and political ideas, often through fields such as media and #culturalstudies and #CulturalTheory
